I agree, if you properly maintain the engine and use it at regular intervals...probably not an issue. On something with unknown history you could plug that turbo up and burn the bushings. Not exactly the SeaFoam's issue. I ran into this problem all the time with BG transmission flushes. Older...

The HMMWV mount is $700 from what I quickly found on the internet. Way out of price range for just the mount. I do like the folding down mount from DIY4X. I was thinking something like that, of course mine was more traditional with the tire facing out. Almost impossible to mount up in the down...

Gotta love RockAuto! Got the AC Delco for $25. Also bought a wiper motor (A-1 Cardone) for $50 which was 50% cheaper than one from the local parts store.

I have an M1031 on 37's. I'm looking to see what some have done for a spare tire carrier. I haven't measured the frame rails yet but I doubt it will fit in the stock position. A big hinged carrier out back would be sweet. Could incorporate a ladder and Jerry can mount but only one big question...

What kind of price are we talking here? I'm thinking about doing this as most older rigs really do not enjoy running headlight current through the fuse panel or switch anymore. My plan would be to mount up two relays (probably $10 total) near the batteries and use the stock pigtail to switch...

Thanks for the heads up!

I agree, you can find many good locals and ebay pumps...DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!! Plenty of good and bad experiences on here. Prices have nothing to do with it. My price was smack dab in the middle which yielded me a factory reman'd pump from an authorized dealer. You will find many places listed on...

It all depends on what you are looking to do. I have a decent amount of spare time, very good mechanical abilities, and lots of tools with a heated indoor workspace. I opted to get a reman'd unit. It boils down to it being a central part of the fuel system and worth every penny to have a...

I'm getting ready to replace my mechanical fuel pump. I eventually would like to do dual tanks with electric pumps inspired by Piracy but don't want to dive into that yet. So I am going to change out the $25 mechanical pump and replace all my rubber lines other than the ones in the engine bay. I...

Leaky IP, probably a throttle shaft seal or hoses. Mine ran great but leaked from old age...common problems with IP's and human beings. Just get the most up to date DB2 pump available. Will set you back between $500-700 depending on where you live. If this is the problem...

Pretty much all GL5 gear oil will be rated for limited slip diffs. Of course I would not rely on that working good if you buy cheapo oil. The safest bet is swing by a Ford dealer and pick some up if your parts store doesn't stock a seperate additive. The only reason I say Ford is that most of...

DOT5 Hold onto your wallet when you get the bill for one quart!

Sweet ride!

I agree...walk away. The starter will set you back $150 off fleabay or a surplus supplier. You have a bit of work ahead of you to change out that flexplate. All of that on something which could be seized up anyways or knocking. That is a parts rig worth a couple of hundred bucks. Saw an M1009...

I know that the injector conversion exists but so far no one wants to pony up the few extra bucks to upgrade. Plus NAPA sells the spider assembly dirt cheap now so most go the low buck path. Never like the CPI design. I try to get all genuine AC Delco from RockAuto but you probably know the...

After replacing your GP's as soon as you get a CUCV with AC60's. If you don't, it is the equivalent of trying to find an air leak on a dry rotted tire.

I had really good luck getting my engine nice and toasty, then immediately trying to remove the GP's. I had quite a few swollen ones. Once I unthreaded them, I would squirt some penetrating oil down there. Follow this up with twisting and prying gently outward with locking pliers. (I wanted to...

You don't have to be rolling in money...it is a cost avoidance. Unless you own a tow truck or trailer, it will leave you stranded and instead of doing maintenance you are giving your money to AAA or some other tow service. Just for the record, I had to do my IP also due to fuel leaks. Wanna...

I wouldn't spend time doing any of that. I would immediately go straight to new plugs, bypass mod, and then a functional check. I'm not sure why anyone would bother trying to use the GP's with questionable history when they more than likely are junk to begin with. I have yet to buy a car from...

Good to know, thanks for the heads up. Your profile photo shows some type of grille cover on your brush guard. Any info on that? I should really fabricate something for mine...didn't know if that is a surplus item or custom.
